=Overview= When building and installing talloc 2.1.1 on Mac OS X Mavericks (10.9.4) (Darwin 13.3.0), the shared libraries are installed with the wrong install_name. That is, the install_name refers to the path where the library was built rather than the path where the library is installed. This makes programs unable to find and load these shared libraries. =Steps to Reproduce= To reproduce the problem (assuming the user has write permissions to /opt) we do: $ cd /Users/jlmuir/tmp $ curl -O http://www.samba.org/ftp/talloc/talloc-2.1.1.tar.gz $ tar xzf talloc-2.1.1.tar.gz $ cd talloc-2.1.1 $ ./configure --prefix=/opt/talloc-2.1.1 $ make $ make install =Actual Results= Now, using otool to examine the shared libraries, we see that the install_name entries are wrong; that is, they reference paths under the build location (/Users/jlmuir/tmp), but they should only reference paths under the install location (/opt/talloc-2.1.1): $ otool -L /opt/talloc-2.1.1/lib/libtalloc.dylib /opt/talloc-2.1.1/lib/libtalloc.dylib: /Users/jlmuir/tmp/talloc-2.1.1/bin/default/libtalloc.inst.dylib (compatibility version 0.0.0, current version 0.0.0) /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 1197.1.1) $ otool -L /opt/talloc-2.1.1/lib/libpytalloc-util.dylib /opt/talloc-2.1.1/lib/libpytalloc-util.dylib: /Users/jlmuir/tmp/talloc-2.1.1/bin/default/libpytalloc-util.inst.dylib (compatibility version 0.0.0, current version 0.0.0) /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreFoundation.framework/Versions/A/CoreFoundation (compatibility version 150.0.0, current version 855.17.0) /Users/jlmuir/tmp/talloc-2.1.1/bin/default/libtalloc.dylib (compatibility version 0.0.0, current version 0.0.0) /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 1197.1.1) /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/Python (compatibility version 2.7.0, current version 2.7.5) $ otool -L /opt/talloc-2.1.1/lib/python2.7/site-packages/talloc.so /opt/talloc-2.1.1/lib/python2.7/site-packages/talloc.so: /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreFoundation.framework/Versions/A/CoreFoundation (compatibility version 150.0.0, current version 855.17.0) /Users/jlmuir/tmp/talloc-2.1.1/bin/default/libpytalloc-util.dylib (compatibility version 0.0.0, current version 0.0.0) /Users/jlmuir/tmp/talloc-2.1.1/bin/default/libtalloc.dylib (compatibility version 0.0.0, current version 0.0.0) /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 1197.1.1) /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/Python (compatibility version 2.7.0, current version 2.7.5) =Expected Results= $ otool -L /opt/talloc-2.1.1/lib/libtalloc.dylib /opt/talloc-2.1.1/lib/libtalloc.dylib: /opt/talloc-2.1.1/lib/libtalloc.dylib (compatibility version 0.0.0, current version 0.0.0) /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 1197.1.1) Similarly for /opt/talloc-2.1.1/lib/libpytalloc-util.dylib and /opt/talloc-2.1.1/lib/python2.7/site-packages/talloc.so. =Additional Information= May be related to bug 9665.

Hello, This is related to Bug 10626. And, as J. Lewis Muir rightly wrote, this is related to Bug 9665 too. So as to avoid redundant work, I guess one of the bugs could be retained, the other ones then being marked as duplicates. Axel
